This hat is a must-have in the cold season!

It is worked flat in back- and forth-rows, eliminating the need for double pointed needles. A gauge swatch is not necessary because you don't have to calculate stitches for the head circumference.

Just knit until the hat fits around your head, then bind off the ends by placing all stitches onto one knitting needle together. This will be explained in the pattern.

Needed materials:

• 50 grams [1.76 oz] of aran weight yarn (approx. 125 meters [136 yds])
• Single point knitting needle or circular knitting needle size 7 mm [US10.75]
• 2 stitch markers
• sewing needle
• waste yarn for the provisional cast on
• crochet hook size 7 mm [US size between K and L]

Techniques used:

Basics, short rows, right leaning increase, provisional cast on
